Progressive Agriculture Safety Days Training Program

Are You Looking For a Safe, Educational, Fun Community Project to Teach Farm Safety?

If so, your community could be one of the more than 350 throughout the U.S. and Canada, who participate each year in the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day™ program.

The Progressive Agriculture Safety Day™ program trains and provides resources for local community volunteers to conduct hands-on, educational farm safety day for children. Communities chosen to participate in the program, receive one and one-half days of training for the lead coordinator; an in-depth, step-by-step manual; liability and excess medical insurance; publicity; welcome banners; copy-ready posters and certificates; take-home bags; and a t-shirt for each participant and volunteer.

While the national program provides a suggested framework, coordinators tailor their safety day to meet the specific needs of the local community. They choose the location, date, and hours; number and age of participants; and which topics are taught. They recruit other volunteers as needed to teach the topics, serve as group leaders, seek local donations, etc.

The program is run by the Progressive Agriculture Foundation with funding provided by numerous North American, state/provincial, and regional businesses and organizations.
